Tses appoints technical engineers for $5bn plant

Published 15th August, 2012 by Greg Morris

Namibian glass manufacturing company Tses Glass has appointed South Africa-based IBP Construction Consultants as technical engineers for Tses, Namibia.

Tses Namibia is a glass manufacturing plant with four separate manufacturing plants in a single location – with an annual capacity of 20 million net tonnes.

Tses opted for IBP as technical engineers in charge of conducting a feasibility study of its planned glass manufacturing plant in Tses, Southern Namibia.

The environmental impact assessment study and the environmental monitoring plan for the new manufacturing plant will be carried out by Singapore-based Aurecon Group.

Following an investment of more than US$5 billion, the new plant is expected to create more than 46,500 direct manufacturing jobs in Tses itself and more than 233,000 indirect job opportunities throughout Namibia.

Construction is expected to begin in May 2013
